List of Cardfighters Cards

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

A checklist of cards collectible in a video game. (Note that none of these are characters in this game; they're characters in other games, appearing only as inanimate cards in these games.) This is a game guide, something Wikipedia is not. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 00:47, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm not sure what to think here. On the one hand, they aren't actual characters, on the other hand though neither are pokemon and we have a list of them. This is nowhere near notable as pokemon is though, not to mention the fact that we DO have articles on them. I can't decide whether this should stay or go, though I think I'd lean towards deleting it --L ucid 01:20, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Pokemon are characters in the anime series, a handful of the manga series, and several of the games (such as Channel or Mystery Dungeon.) - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 19:06, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't know how well that argument works as these cards are all characters from games, cartoons and at least one live-action movie. On the other hand, I don't think that there are any lists of Pokemon cards. ~ JohnnyMrNinja  05:55, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * There are no lists of Pokemon cards. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 21:23, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

 * This is a discussion more than it is a vote, so please add reasoning for viewpoint. ~ JohnnyMrNinja  05:55, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - Until it can be shown that a list of (presumably) notable characters from (presumably) notable games from two different (definitely) notable rival companies, that share a common connection through a (presumably) notable series of games, is unacceptable by Wikipedia standards. The listed cards link to information that already exists, and the connection is genuine (and much more palatable than a category would be). Although I'll admit that this article does seem to read like a List of articles that should probably be merged into other articles. ~ JohnnyMrNinja  05:55, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It's a trivial association. These games have dozens and dozens of cameo appearances, and these characters are nothing but cameo appearances in these game. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 21:23, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - I really can't think of a good reason that this should survive as an independent article. I'd say merge, but it's just so flippin long, and it'll only get longer. Perhaps just the names of the games themselves should be merged? ~ JohnnyMrNinja  17:00, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge to a (real-world notable) parent article or transwiki to Wikia. If those options are unavailable, delete. This list shows no real-world content (and many of the articles it links to fail to establish notability either); it is not necessary as an organizational list either, because it's minor. &mdash; Deckiller 12:20, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, for the same reason as these deletion debates, namely, they're little more than game guide-type content with zero hope for improvement. Axem Titanium 22:30, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - it's difficult to see how this kind of list can provide any out-of-game context. Marasmusine 14:06, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
